I miss my AKG 340's..... Blown panel, shot headband and earpads. May as well 
get a new pair.
Except, I don't know if I can get new ones. I guess I'll have to use one of 
my other electrostats in the meantime.m I preffered the AKG's becuse at least 
they could easily be connected to any amp via a regular 3 pin 1/4" plug. Now 
they had a low impedance (transformer coupled), about 200 ohms. They sure did 
pick on weak op amps.....
